Alabed drew worldwide attention last year when her tweets detailing her life while living in East Aleppo went viral. With the help of her mother, she posted photos and videos showing the devastation she experienced, often updating her followers on if she was still alive.

Last December, Alabed was feared dead when her Twitter account was deleted and went silent on social media.

It was later confirmed she and her mother were evacuated from Aleppo and relocated to Turkey.

3 days earlier, Bana released a video, asking world leader to help along with the message

This is my message to the leaders of the world: it’s never too late. Save the people of Syria now.
